ROLAND O'SULLIVAN, who has built his 10 year career with other people's discards, at last produced a talent of his own when Happy Go Lucky became his first two year old winner at Sand own yesterday.

Happy Go Lucky gave the well regarded Quintellina a fright when finishing just three lengths behind the Luca Cumani filly in a Glorious Good wood maiden at odds of 50 to 1.

And she proved the run was no fluke when defeating Elbaaha by a length and three quarters to get off the mark in the August Maiden Fillies' Stakes.
